ELENQAHomework that speaks for itself.
Students enter a live, voice-to-voice debate with an AI opponent. Their spoken answers are challenged in real time, so understanding is undeniable.
Private beta: open to teachers, tutors, and independent educators.
Why oral defense in the AI era?
Make copy‑paste irrelevant. Reward real thinking.
Build real thinking
Oral argument and rebuttal strengthen clarity, evidence, and on‑the‑spot reasoning: the core of deep learning.
Cheating‑resistant by design
Spontaneous speaking and live challenge make copy‑paste answers irrelevant. Students must show their own understanding.
Now scalable with AI
For the first time, AI can challenge every student fairly and consistently, making oral defense practical for homework.
How it works
Two simple flows: one for teachers, one for students.
Three simple steps
- Create an assignment with your prompt or reading.
- Assign it to students (class or individuals).
- Watch their debates and finalize grades with structured feedback.
Tip: Set time limits and retry policy to match your course goals.
What educators and students say

Ideal for my classes. It finally makes oral defense practical at scale.
Debating the AI was exciting. It pushed me to tighten my arguments and I wanted another round.
The first homework my students asked to do more of. They can’t copy it; they own it.

FAQ
What is Elenqa?
Elenqa is an AI-powered debate and learning platform. Students develop reasoning, articulation, and persuasion by debating an AI opponent, while teachers assign structured debates, review transcripts, and assess clarity, evidence, and argument strength.
Why the name “Elenqa”?
Our name nods to the Socratic method. It derives from the ancient Greek ἔλεγχος (elenchos), Latinized as “elenchus,” which means testing, cross‑examination, or refutation. Socrates used elenchus to probe claims with questions, surface contradictions, and guide learners toward justified understanding. Elenqa brings that spirit to modern classrooms with structured, measurable practice.
Why this tradition, and why now with AI?
For centuries, oral defense and disputation have trained clear thinking in philosophy, law, rhetoric, and the sciences. The practice rewards evidence, coherence, and the ability to respond in real time. Until now, it has been hard to scale beyond small seminars. With AI, every learner can face a capable challenger anytime, while teachers get transcripts, rubrics, and consistent scoring that make critical thinking visible and teachable at scale.
Can students still use AI to cheat?
Debates require spontaneous speaking and rebuttal, revealing understanding in real time. It’s purpose‑built to make copy‑paste homework irrelevant.
What do teachers receive after a debate?
Transcript, rubric‑aligned feedback, and a suggested grade. Teachers can override and add comments.
What equipment is required?
A laptop with a microphone and a modern browser. Headphones recommended.
Do you support schools and districts?
Yes. The Institutional plan supports multi‑teacher rollouts and admin oversight. Join the waitlist to talk with us.
